If you get stuck with the lure-shaping method, here’s another way. Sit on the floor with your knee raised high enough your dog can crawl under (or use a low stool). Lure her under your knee, and when she lies down in order to crawl to reach the treat, mark and treat. When she does this easily, add your “Down” cue, then gradually fade the presence of your knee, until she’ll lie down on just the verbal cue.
